This, my friends, is the entire Dead Island 2 in a nutshell. Deep Silver has released the first gameplay trailer for its upcoming zombie-survival title, showcasing ways to kill zombies, and believe me when I say this, there are a plenty of ways to do it.

It is evident from the trailer that the game takes place in California and we got a closer look at the Golden Gate Bridge and Hollywood Hills.

Coming to the gameplay trailer, it’s based on pre-alpha in-game footage which is looking absolutely stunning; especially if we consider that it is pre-alpha footage.

We also received information on the Golden State Weapon Pack – the game’s pre-order bonus – which includes Grinder, Katana, and Homestrike weapon. Check out the trailer above and tell us what you think about it!
